About this activity

Suitable for pre-school and reception-aged children and their parents/carers.

Walk About, Talk About is a multimedia DVD resource which includes six short films hosted by a road safety expert.

The films take children on different journeys to highlight safer ways to travel covering crossing the road, safer crossing places, travelling safely, safer journeys and journey planning. They are accompanied by a PDF teachers' guide and five fun activity sheets to complete in nursery or with parents/carers at home. 

Speak to your borough officer to order the most suitable resources and ways to deliver the activity.
